Samantha Bee has been crushing it ever since Full Frontal debuted on TBS in February, shortly after she exited The Daily Show. And it looks like next week will be her biggest yet. Check out the info below, direct from TBS… Next week on TBS, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee will feature a thought-provoking interview with President Barack Obama. A legal scholar and former junior Senator from Illinois, Mr. Obama

Typically, when someone in the public eye lists a television comedienne as one of their life’s inspirations, you expect them to be a famous comedic actress, not the first lady of the United States. But Michelle Obama continues to break the FLOTUS mold in her most recent interview with Variety. The first lady revealed that she gained a sense of self and independence from her childhood hero Mary Tyler Moore,

Marc Maron’s highly-anticipated podcast interview with Barack Obama is going viral after the President used the “n-word” to make a point. Obama was speaking about the Charleston church shootings when he noted that racism still exists in America today. “Racism, we are not cured of it,” President Obama said on Maron’s WTF Podcast. “And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say n—-r in public. That’s

Marc Maron has snagged arguably the biggest podcast guest ever of not just his own show, but of any podcast. Monday’s guest on WTF with Marc Maron will be President Barack Obama. The Obama episode is expected to be the biggest WTF episode ever. It may possibly become the most downloaded podcast episode of all time. “This is a big day for our country, for me and for my cats,”

Comics Unleashed producer Byron Allen is not pleased with President Obama. Speaking with TMZ, the former stand-up comedian Allen called Barack Obama “a white president in black face.” The comments came after President Obama referred to the protesters in Baltimore as “thugs”. “Look at the numbers,” said Allen. “Black people have fallen further behind under President Obama.” He suggested that black Americans might have been better off with Mitt Romney

Bill Clinton had a hilarious response to the news that Barack Obama has his own Twitter account. The former president tweeted at the current commander-in-chief about the future of the @POTUS handle. “Welcome to @Twitter, @POTUS!” Bill Clinton tweeted to Obama’s new Twitter handle. “One question: Does that username stay with the office? #askingforafriend.” The “friend,” of course, is Bill’s wife, Hillary, who is running for the presidency in 2016.

Conan O’Brien has been talking about taking a trip to Cuba to film his wildly popular late-night talk show Conan for a while now.

In January, President Barack Obama began easing travel restrictions to Cuba,

Jon Stewart, during an appearance on Christiane Amanpour’s show on CNN yesterday claimed he didn’t vote in the Midterm Elections. Later that night, however, at the top of the live election coverage on The Daily Show, Stewart said he was only joking and apologized to viewers for belittling the electoral process. Earlier when Amanpour asked if he had voted, Stewart, who was promoting his film Rosewater, cracked that he hadn’t

To say this weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live was better than last week’s season opener would be a sever understatement. Last night veteran comedian Sarah Silverman led SNL to a consistently entertaining, funny and smart show. Let’s hope the show can maintain the rest of the season. The cold open for SNL’s second episode of its historic 40th season was decidedly more political — and decidedly better executed —

An “Obam-off” of epic proportions may be in the works. Imagine Key & Peele, Jay Pharoah and the rest of the country’s top presidential impersonators in the same sketch video. It might just break the Internet, or at least help the President reclaim his Most Retweets record. Comedian Jordan Carlos floated the idea on Twitter on Wednesday asking Obama impressionist Dion Flynn about doing competing depictions of the 44th President

When we heard Joel McHale was speaking at the 2014 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, we knew we would be in for an evening of laughs. But we did not think the Community star would nearly get out-joked by the President himself! Barack Obama took the stage first at the 2014 Nerd Prom, and he proved that he is not afraid to make fun of himself. “In 2008 my slogan was,

President Barack Obama sure came in swinging on Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis. The Campaign star, who usually demeans his guests in a self-conscious fit of subdued rage, got taken to task when “Community Organizer” Obama came on to his talk show to encourage young people to enroll in Obamacare as the enrollment deadline approaches. “When I heard people actually watch this show, I was actually pretty surprised,” Obama

Jay Leno concluded his nearly 22 year-run as the host of The Tonight Show yesterday and many are celebrating his reign by remembering their favorite late-night moments (“What the hell were you thinking?!”). One group of researchers chose to take reminiscing a step further. A recent study was released by the Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University that analyzed nearly 44,000 of Leno’s Tonight Show monologue

The concerned folks at Saturday Night Live have a solution for President Barack Obama’s second-term blues: Paxil. The difference, though, is that this anti-depressant isn’t for regular people.
